Stay Humble. It’s a piece of advice given to many young individuals, especially entrepreneurs. It’s quite difficult to see it play out once said individuals see the success at the end of the tunnel. Yet somehow, this is something that still holds true for Akira Nakai. After all these years and the explosion of popularity of RWB, we see that Nakai-san is still the same man he was, working out of his little shop in Chiba, Japan. He’s still doing what he loves most, being the outlaw Porsche tuner who cuts 911s.

Man, his English is so good now, since that first Dino article I have been in love with this style. Not just because it so wild but he makes the car alive, like a feeling, a ghost, a myth, but tangible and real.

I had a love for RWB but Dino really drilled it home for me. I think it was his Rough Rhythm article, when Nakai handed him the keys. Incredible stuff

I remember a trip to Chiba in 2012 and Toshi arranged me to come and meet Nakai san on a random weekday at the RWB shop. Even back then he was a busy guy but nice enough to spend some time and chat even in basic English. I remember his hospitality and warm spirit. He sent me off with a bunch of RWB merch and stickers, so cool. Even let me take photos with him and his cars. Im glad his business has only grown since then

First I have not watched the whole thing yet But just the first few minutes. I appreciate the words and respect given to Dino. And the history between the both of you as well Larry how you both were on speedhunters. And following you all these years and your stories. With out a doubt you both are monsters in the industry. And it’s exciting to see you grow Larry. I just want Dino to get his due share. And you make those comments means a lot to me. It’s a privilege to know both of you and have friendships. Also thank you for visiting Nakai-san We all brothers of RWB Thank you. See ya at sema

I remember a few years back while in Tokyo, i was queueing up at a ramen restaurant in Akasaka then i saw Nakai-san passing by in his purple RWB, pretty sick ride in person. Sadly my phone was crappy at that time so taking picture at night was totally out of the question.

Can i just say a big thank you to Larry and Dino for bringing RWB into my life. If it was for you two i honestly don't think i'd be typing this now (if you catch my drift), as back when you first covered RWB in SpeedHunters, i was at my lowest point in my life and remember stumbling over this feature with Hooters (Adriana) and having something to take my mind off everything.
